You could use the mapView:regionWillChangeAnimated: delegate method to listen for region change events, and if the region is wider than your maximum region, set it back to the max region with setRegion:animated: to indicate to your user that they can't zoom out that far. Here's the methods:
- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView regionWillChangeAnimated:(BOOL)animated
- (void)setRegion:(MKCoordinateRegion)region animated:(BOOL)animated
Yes, this is doable. First, extend MKMapView by using MKMapView+ZoomLevel.
Then, implement this in your MKMapViewDelegate:
- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView regionDidChangeAnimated:(BOOL)animated
{
// Constrain zoom level to 8.
if( [mapView zoomLevel] < 8 )
{
[mapView setCenterCoordinate:mapView.centerCoordinate
zoomLevel:8
animated:NO];
}
}
